WBSC Baseball5 course in Senegal attracts 26 coaches and 20 players

The World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) held a Baseball5 course, taught by Chedli Mokrani and hosted by the Senegal Baseball & Softball Association, at the OlympAfrica Centre in Somone from 20 to 28 October.

The course consisted of theoretical and practical sessions, including ⁠Baseball5 rules, warm-up and defence, hitting drills, and game situations.

Players and coaches also experienced drills for the defence such as fielding, catching, and throwing; how to get an elimination at first, second and third base and home plate; how to get a double elimination and the difference between tossing and flipping the ball. The course included game officials' mechanics and scoring.
